Mancs Post Match

[Shaggy]

Aye, wasn't suggesting you were reading it. Just saw the same little symbol myself.

I often scan the top page of 'highest rated' comments (news articles got me into this habit).

I'd never before realised the level of pure ignorance and blind hatred towards us was so relentless.

As someone pointed out, the commentators are what's causing this as much as anything, tagging almost every touch Suarez takes with a snidey comment about his 'reputation'

Ha! No I didn't take it that way. I thought I'd better clarify my position anyway.

Suarez diving - YouTube

This?


Come off it fellas. He dives far too much.

As Distin comes in his left foot toe pokes Suarez's thigh, this is why Suarez went down imo, yes your correct in that he doesn't need to go down, but nor do a load of other players in the league either, but they do.

Imo, 9 times out of 10 when Suarez go's down and people say he dived, there is contact, very minimal yes, but he feels it and has been taught to go down, we need to get that out of his game.

What gets me though is that when it's a manc player, it's always...'oh there was contact, so to the letter of the law blah blah!'

But with Luis, it's always..'Oh he exagerrated it....he was hardly touched blah blah!'

Stinks!

[Cormack74]

Even when he sent Hamman off against Arsenal for absolutely nothing?

Er well I'm not going to stick up for every wrong decision he ever made, but on balance I'd have him ahead of most of the others.

They should make penalties worth half a goal.

[little dave hedgehog]

they still would have beaten us.

Yes but you'd need to get away with two dives to equalise! It's a small disincentive.

But another goal would have more than equalised. The game would have been 2:0 - 1:1 = Liverpool 2 Man Utd 1.5

With a bent ref it would make no difference, they would just disallow any goal we the opposition scored, by claiming some sort of infringement was made.

Don't dare criticise a ref who gives the Mancs favourable decisions:

Wigan manager Roberto Martinez has been charged by the Football Association for comments made after his team's 4-0 defeat at Manchester United.

Martinez accused referees of favouring United at Old Trafford and believes striker Danny Welbeck should have been sent off in the 15 September game.

United were awarded a penalty, which was saved, after keeper Ali Al Habsi was judged to have fouled Welbeck.

Martinez has until 16:00 BST on Thursday to respond to the charge.

An FA statement read: "The charge is in relation to an alleged breach of FA Rule E3 concerning media comments which implied that the match referee and/or match officials in general are motivated by bias and/or brought the game into disrepute."

Laughable.

Perhaps it should be an offence to shoot inside the 18 yard box?
